Make

  1. Heat a wok or nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat and add butter. Saute cauliflower in heated butter for ~5 minutes, until tender but still crunchy. Season to taste with some salt and pepper. Set cauliflower aside and cover to keep warm. Return wok to heat.
  2. Add oil and then onions and peppers to heated oil. Saute until tender, ~2 minutes.
  3. Add beef to onions and peppers. Saute until seared on the outside, 2 to 4 minutes. Pour sauce over beef and bring to a simmer. Simmer in sauce until beef is cooked through to your liking, 2 to 5 minutes more.
  4. Serve stir-fry over cauliflower rice, topped with some extra hot sauce if you'd like. Enjoy with chilled cucumbers on the side. Enjoy!
